I’m struggling with this as well. I’m not sure why work is always on my mind. I think work is on my mind more due to COVID and because normal every day activity is still not happening.

Yeah I feel like I have to “make up” for any distractions during the work day (also just got diagnosed with ADHD, so there are LOTS of distractions). And if I don’t finish a project that I was assigned, I feel like I can’t do anything else until that’s done.

When I was WFH, absolutely.

Started going back to the office once we (CLA) opened up and not anymore. I need that separation between work and home. When I get home my laptop does not turn on and I removed the email from my phone.

I was going to post the same question this morning because I feel the exact same way. I also feel like always worrying about work takes so much mental capacity that even if I work a 40 hour week, I’m completely exhausted. I think the issue is that since we’re so short staffed, even 40 hour weeks feel like fire drill after fire drill and trying to cram in as much work as possible.

Yesss! It’s so exhausting dealing with fire drill after fire drill. It’s also not sustainable to give 100% to each hard deadline.

I know it's going to be different for everyone, but at one point after your first child did you go back to work? Thinking of kids, and trying to wrap my head around what's normal, and what to expect with budgeting post delivery. Wife says 6 months after regardless of parental leave to recover. Then she wants to ease into it with part time work. Thoughts?

Im starting a new job but still employed somewhere else. I was trying to be open about staying at BOTH places. My current job won’t let me be part time because they don’t allow “set schedules”. Yet I am one of the only reliable and loyal employees in the department, and currently working a set schedule. So why will they not let me continue a set schedule but with different hours? This place is more focused on strict policies and not actually trying to work their employees and being flexible.

We are hiring for senior IT auditors and cyber assessors to work on SOC2s, CMMC, pen testing, vulnerability assessments, and other similar projects. Boston area, medium/large regional firm. 2-4 years exp but flexible. Open to associates that are on the cusp of promotion to senior. Relatively low travel and better WLB compared to Big4. Feel free to DM.

I feel like it’s reasonable to not kill myself further to fit in more/turn things around faster at this point, but am I being unreasonable? I expect my workload to remain at this level through the end of the year at least.
